Chapter 463 A Night with Three Beauties

Li Xiaofan opened the "Popular Online Bookstore" website on his computer, and sure enough, they had launched a new membership discount event, with discounts similar to their own "Discount Promotion Event to Celebrate the Listing of Pacific Online Bookstore".

"It seems that the other party is unkind. Are they planning to start a long-lasting price war with us?" Li Xiaofan frowned.

"Director Li, what should we do now?" Liu Yanping asked.

"Now, let's observe for a while. If their strength exceeds ours, we will fight back immediately without mercy! Simply competing on price doesn't make much sense. In the end, we still have to win with service and reputation..."

"Okay, I understand, Director Li."

"Yanping, have you found out who the investment institution behind Dazhong Online Bookstore is?"

"Director Li, there is no news about this. But it is said that our Pacific Online Bookstore's successful listing on Nasdaq has attracted a lot of attention. Recently, there have been many similar follow-up projects. With the capital support behind them, they will also be launched in Southeast Asia one after another. Launch and compete in this e-commerce market…”

"I'm not very worried about this. After all, we have a first-mover advantage. Now that we have raised US$100 million in funds after going public, we have plenty of ammunition. Except for this Volkswagen Online Bookstore, others should not be afraid! In addition, Yanping, we Pacific Online Bookstore will start to expand its presence in mainland China. After all, the market in Southeast Asia is a little smaller.”

"Okay, Director Li, let's implement it as soon as possible."

After Liu Yanping went out, Li Xiaofan asked his secretary Liang Beini to ask Daisha, the company's deputy director of marketing, to bring Irene over.

When Aileen came to the marketing department to report in the morning, Li Xiaofan and Lin Muchiu had already gone out.

Before going out, Li Xiaofan asked Daisha, whom she knew, to take Irene to familiarize herself with the working environment.

"Afan, are you looking for me?"

Today Irene wore a very professional light-colored striped hip-hugging skirt dress, black stockings with a narrow skirt that just reached the knees, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes, which made her look very elegant and sexy.

"Sister-in-law, are you still used to it?" Li Xiaofan asked.

Eileen showed a smile and said: "I'm very used to it. I like the working atmosphere here very much. Everyone is young, energetic and hardworking. Especially working with Daisha, I feel very happy!"

Then, she smiled softly in Chinese and said to Li Xiaofan: "Finally, I don't have to look at the face of my Japanese mother-in-law anymore. It's great!"

"That's good, sister-in-law, if you have something to do, you can go home early at any time. Also, the marketing department has a lot of work recently and has to work overtime frequently. Since you just came here, you don't have to work overtime with Daisha and the others."

Li Xiaofan said this in English to let Daisha next to him know.

Unexpectedly, Eileen reacted fiercely: "No, Affan, I have to work overtime with my colleagues in the marketing department. As I said before coming here, don't be special! Affan, just treat me as an ordinary person in your company." Treat the staff well!”

"Haha, that's okay. In this way, sister-in-law, I will listen to you. You can work overtime if you want. You can make your own arrangements..."

Li Xiaofan guessed that Irene might have a tense relationship with her mother-in-law Kyoko Fujiwara at home, so she wanted to go out to work to kill time.

It's her first day here to work. It's fresh and full of passion. She may get tired of it in the future. Since she is willing to work overtime, let her be, as long as she is happy.

While they were chatting, Lin Muchiu knocked lightly on the glass door, preparing to come in and report on work.

Li Xiaofan beckoned: "Mu Qiu, come in, your cousin happens to be here too."

After Lin Muchiu came in, Aileen greeted with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Lin!"

After Lin Muqiu took office, he was appointed by Li Xiaofan as the company's assistant to the president, mainly assisting Li Xiaofan in responsible for overseas incubators, parks and investments.

"Hey, cousin, what brought you here today?"

Lin Muchiu said in surprise that she had followed Li Xiaofan out early in the morning and had not seen Irene yet.

Aileen smiled playfully at Lin Muchiu and said, "Starting today, I'm going to work in your company. How are you, Mr. Lin? Are you welcome?"

"Huh? You don't want to be a rich wife, but you actually work in our company. Is it true?"

After Lin Muchiu finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiaofan and asked Li Xiaofan for confirmation.

Li Xiaofan nodded and said: "Mu Qiu, yes, your cousin started coming to our company's marketing department today to temporarily experience our work. There were so many things in the morning, I forgot to tell you this..."

"No, it's not temporary. I officially come to your company's marketing department to report for work! Afan, we had a good talk last night!"

Li Xiaofan looked at Irene's serious look and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, okay, it's okay to officially go to work..."

At this time, Lin Muchiu realized that what Irene said was true.

However, she soon understood why Irene came out to work. She knew Irene's situation and situation very well.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Irene took Daisha knowingly and said goodbye to Li Xiaofan and Lin Muchiu:

"Director Li, Mr. Lin, we won't disturb you if you talk about work, 88!"

Lin Muchiu said angrily: "Cousin, don't keep talking about Mr. Lin, it sounds awkward!"

"Now I have to abide by the company's rules when I work in your company. Okay, you two leaders, let's talk about work. Let's go, 88!"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's celebrate your first day at our company. Tonight, Muchu, Daisha and I will invite you to have dinner at the Guoda Xiucai Restaurant next door. It will be a welcome dinner for you. It would be best if Brother Ming can come and join us!"

"Okay, thank you! I'll contact Ah Ming to see if he is free to attend."

...

After Irene and Daisha left, Lin Muchu came in to report to him about the opening ceremony plan for the Y-lab startup incubator, which is scheduled to open in Silicon Valley in September. He asked Li Xiaofan to set a good date so that they can refine the plan and start the relevant preparations such as inviting guests.

Lin Muchu's initial suggestion for the opening time is September 18, the sixth day of the eighth lunar month. 18 is homophonic to "Yaofa", and it happens to be the sixth day of the first lunar month, which means everything will go smoothly.

After reading the plan, Li Xiaofan said to Lin Muchu: "Muqiu, this 918 is a day of deep hatred and bitterness for us mainlanders. Let's change the time."

"Why?"

"65 years ago, there was a September 18 incident in our mainland..."

After Li Xiaofan's explanation, she suddenly realized.

Finally, after Li Xiaofan and Lin Muchu discussed, the opening ceremony of the Y-lab entrepreneurship incubator was scheduled on Friday, September 20, 1996, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.

"920" I love you!

...

In the evening, after working overtime until 7 o'clock, Li Xiaofan asked the driver to drive over and pick up Lin Muchu, Irene and Desha to go to the National University of Singapore Xiucai Restaurant next door for dinner.

Tang Jiaming replied to Li Xiaofan that he was busy and he had to entertain guests from Indonesia in the evening. He didn't know whether it was true or not.

Li Xiaofan took Lin Muchu and other three beauties into the campus of the National University of Singapore. Just as he got off the car and was about to enter the Xiucai Restaurant, someone greeted him from a distance: "Mr. Li, hello!"
